Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

People started noticing the grey instead of gold buttons... what do you think? I might prefer gold buttons, but grey doesn't bother me.

I think the grey suits it better, honestly.

The grey buttons are good, they add a bit of contrast.

Something something playing with your Wii always is a stress reliever something....there's a joke to be made here.

Anyway, I'm not feeling this one's box art, but if I can join the ranks of employment I may need to check this one out.

Is anyone else following Zelda on Facebook?
Did we already know that it features more than 100 minutes of cutscenes?

Nope. Share the link, plox. And what the heck is up with the tongue of that dude? I had not seen that till today. That's freakin' retarded and corny. Worst freakin' antagonist for Link ever.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I haven't been able to play much Gears 3 because of studying. I feel bad when I play so I turn off the console and start studying. This game is going to come at the end of the semester so I think I am going to finish it near the end of december... in like... two days of extreme playing. LOL

I would like to, but it will be very hard to do. I am actually planning on waiting to get this one as a Christmas gift, which will be even more difficult.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I saw 2 seconds of the latest trailer... and I couldn't stop. It just looks so epic. I made sure not to watch it a 2nd time, because I don't want things to look too familiar when I play it.

I'm a bit worried about the bird-flying part. Somebody said it controlled just as bad as the flying bits in Super Mario Galaxy 2. He probably refers to the bird-gliding thing... which is a bit annoying to control, since it uses the tilt-sensor.

Others have said that the sword controls don't always work, especially stabbing.
But I'm pretty sure those are things you just have to learn how to do. You can't learn that in the 20 minutes that you play a demo.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I read that in the comments of this video: http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/new-...age-1#comments
Comment #15:
"Having played the demo at the Eurogamer Expo, I can report that the flying was just as terrible as the flying levels in Mario Galaxy 2, but the ground-level stuff is just as good as you hope. This looks epic."

And the sword thing I think I read in the comments of Kotaku's "The first two dreamy hours of Skyward Sword" or so.

But I didn't look. :D Less than 6 weeks!!!!

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Everything I've seen from gameplay videos looks fun so far. I'm really looking forward to this one and it's 50+ hours of gameplay.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

So far, there is nothing but shock when it comes to impressions of Skyward Sword among press.

It's almost as if they expected the game to just be "OK" in the shadow of titles with bigger budgets this year.

They were wrong. Skyward Sword, from what I've seen, is a tour-de-force that embodies what Wii should have been to the hardcore gamer.

The release date can't come soon enough...

Honestly, it seems to be a myriad of factors.

But the biggest two is the Wii has all but been dead this year, and secondly, a lot of people have lost faith in Nintendo. Though still think they make fantastic games.

Anyhow, this was a really well written review

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I think that's the 3rd review. ONM and Edge also have theirs done. Good scores so far!

I see so much news on websites and I keep refusing to read it. I've hardly seen anything, I want the game to surprise me as much as possible. :)
I'm taking the day off for it by the way. :D

Today I'll be hopping by the store to see if they have any promotional posters that they're willing to part with in a few months.

I feel like 12 again.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

I visited the store where I made a reservation and I discovered I will get a Zelda cap. :) It's black and has a gold logo on it.
Too bad I'm not a cap-man, they don't look good on me.

No posters yet, he expected those to come in in two weeks.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Seems like the online embargo for the game is up on the 11th, but GamesTM has posted their review. And it seems rather glowing

Quote:

Zelda: Skyward Sword may be the swansong for the Wii, and may be overshadowed by a mere tech demo that showed Link in unrivalled detail on Nintendo’s next-generation offering. But it’s the game the Wii was born to run, and a Zelda game that showcases the kind of talent and ingenuity many seem recently to have entirely forgotten that Nintendo is really all about. Spellbinding, dramatic and absolutely epic in both the world it paints and the story it tells, Zelda: Skyward Sword is a hugely important event for the Wii, for Nintendo, and for anyone with even a passing love for the venerable series it celebrates. But overall, it’s an utterly essential videogame; a flash of fantastical brilliance in an increasingly commercial field of production line entertainment. Buffed and polished to a perfect point, Zelda: Skyward Sword is one in the eye for the naysayers, and a spectacular return to form for its developer; a solemn reminder that, when it comes to crafting worlds, nobody does it quite like Nintendo.

After this year, though, there's a serious chance that answer is going to change. I've spent enough time with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword now to realise that this may very well be the best Zelda game ever made. There's no aspect of series tradition that hasn't been revisited and reassessed, and the way that it uses motion control is so effortless and enjoyable that it makes you really mourn for what the Wii could have done if more developers had only made the effort.

It's more than that, though. It's got a feel about it, a kind of magic, that only the best games have. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a serious contender for Ocarina of Time's crown, and here are the reasons why.
